I got a Loaner as of today. A 3IS starfire pearl for the recall. Keep in mind there is a long wait list. So call soon to your local dealer.

The recall is ELF - REPL FUEL PRESSURE GASKET

I got the recall done a couple weeks ago and got a 2014 IS250 loaner. It's pretty nice; the handling is a lot better than 2IS -- handles slightly better than 2IS with sway bars, much better than stock 2IS. The ventilated seats now cools your back too ... the material looks a little cheaper though.

I think the opposite regarding materials. The interior of my Loaner 3IS for sure is top Luxury Leather all around even on dashboards, rears and sides. Also its so much more space in the rear seats that passengers have enough leg and knee room. I'll take the 3IS front seats in a heart beat. Its by far the most comfortable I've sat in.

I don't think the 3IS uses real leather, at least not standard. I'm not saying it's not comfortable or smaller than 2IS. It's more comfortable and more functional, but the materials look cheaper and feel cheaper.

You kinda have a point there now. The leather is a totally different quality. Not as shiny and smooth as our 2iS have.

Went today they give me a loaner 2015 RX350 for my my 06 IS250 for the fuel recall. Appointment was at 10am was ready at 4:30pm. They topped the gas of washed and vacuumed it as well. It came out good for the dealership wash the vacuum job was okay. But all and all a good experience at Lexus of Northborough!!

I brought my car is for that recall and they were fresh out of loaners Good thing is they knocked it out quick and got my car the next morning after dropping it off the evening prior. It's a quick hour fix I was told. Topped off my fuel as well. So nice of them.

Yeah I was shocked myself. I don't remember them doing it in the past. But hey I'll take it. Guess they are desperate for return customers.
